The Lowdown_ Merkabah & The Arts Of Ascension

Ascension has been the connecting theme of a lot of phenomena in the secret history of the world. Through depictions of these events we are given clues, insight, and tools to use for our own spiritual and creative advancement. Some scientists and historians believe that “beings of light” often recorded in ancient lore, are actual stories of aliens that have come down to aid us over time. We certainly know we are not alone in this multiverse. Whatever the case, the actions recorded in the arts of ascension can be experienced by you or I at anytime we so choose to awaken to the power we hold within.

Throughout history, you can find hints of ascension as a theme in classical and romantic art. Wings, Chariots, Flying objects, and rays of light are just a few examples of the wide range of imagery that explores the unseen and greater forces beyond physical comprehension. In ancient mystery schools these pictures painted not a fantasy, but truth. They learned to use their inner landscape to create their outer reality. The artists who were in these mystery schools, used their work to depict the visions they received in their dreams or channeled through higher beings. This is the foundation for ascension for an artist. Being able to go within, to travel in your merkaba and align with the flow while creating.

The six points of the Merkaba throne correspond to the six wings of the seraphim

Christ rides upon his arcing rainbow throne in a bubble-shaped auereole (luminous cloud), radiating within, and intersected by symbolic squares with concave sides.This luminous cloud could be a ring of exotic matter…

Prophet Ezekiel

Blake, “Beatrice Addressing Dante.” The chariot Beatrice rides is Ezekiel’s “merkabah”–notice the four faces, one human and three animal, and the wheels equipped with eyes (Ezekiel 1:18). But Beatrice takes the place of Ezekiel’s male God.

Now you may be wondering, where does this thing take you? Heaven? They all disappear into the sky!

Everything you can imagine is real.

~ Pablo Picasso

When you travel in your merkabah you are using the same part of yourself that you travel with in your dreams called the Astral Body. With the astral body you leave this physical plane and enter the other myriad dimensions of being. Before traveling inter dimensionally it is always best to shield and ground yourself first. Always ask for guidance from your ancestors and guardians.

You can re-atune to your Merkabah, by reaching your heart center in mediation and calling on your higher self to guide you. Imagination is our greatest asset in spiritual and creative work, trust yourself and be not afraid of your inner landscape.
